Will the fuel consumption of Corolla decrease after the break-in period?

[MicahMarie]

The fuel consumption of Corolla will decrease after the break-in period. The break-in period is generally demarcated by the first maintenance service. The period before the first maintenance is considered the break-in period, and after the first maintenance, it is considered post-break-in. Before changing the oil, avoid aggressive driving as the oil may contain metal shavings and impurities, which can increase engine wear. The first 2000 kilometers during the break-in period are particularly crucial. Pay attention to speed and load, try to avoid full-load driving, and refrain from sudden acceleration and braking. The combined fuel consumption of Corolla ranges from 4.0-5.6L/100km. There are currently 12 models of Corolla available for sale. The E-CVT Pioneer version has a fuel consumption of 4L/100km. The E-CVT Elite and E-CVT Flagship versions consume 4.1L/100km. The CVT Pioneer version consumes 5.1L/100km. The CVT Elite, CVT Elite CARE, and SPORT versions consume 5.2L/100km. The Pioneer PLUS version consumes 5.5L/100km. The Elite PLUS, Flagship, Luxury, and Manual Pioneer versions consume 5.6L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, measured under the NEDC test procedure. Actual fuel consumption ranges from 4.0-10.5L/100km. Here are five tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid stomping on the accelerator suddenly, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration and braking, early braking: While driving, press the accelerator lightly to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the car from shaking, thereby improving fuel efficiency. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can improve by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the manufacturer-recommended level. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even misfires). Regularly check and replace dirty air filters, clean or replace fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle bodies as per mileage recommendations. Keep windows closed while driving: Open windows increase wind resistance, which in turn increases the vehicle's resistance, requiring more power and thus higher fuel consumption. To summarize, the following techniques can help reduce fuel consumption while driving: Start in low gear, press the accelerator gently, maintain proper tire pressure, perform regular maintenance or vehicle checks, and keep windows closed while driving.
